Jamaica Blue Mountain, Cinchona Estate
Renowned throughout the world for it’s incomparable standard of quality and smooth, creamy taste profile, Jamaica Blue Mountain has rightfully earned the nickname of ‘The Champagne of Coffee’. Considered one of the best coffees in the world, Jamaica Blue Mountain must meet stringent regulations and be grown under very specific conditions to meet export quality.Â
The mountains are distinguished by their unique micro-climate and location which provide the ideal circumstances for growing high-quality coffee: at high-altitude on a tropical island, where near constant mist and cloud cover gives perfect shading and temperature, and the cool sea breezes provide ideal moisture levels.Â
Nestled in the heart of the Jamaican Blue Mountains at approximately 1400 metres above sea level, Cinchona Estate stands as the most exquisite of all the Blue Mountain Estates owned by the Shirley family. This revered estate benefits from the optimal altitude, rich volcanic soil, and misty microclimate that imparts the famously smooth and harmonious characteristics of Blue Mountain coffee to these beans. Grown under the personal supervision of the Stoneleigh Chairman, every coffee cherry is nurtured to perfection, ensuring an unparalleled and distinctive flavour profile.Â
